What Does Your Patronus Say About You?

Chapter 30

Hello, fellow Patroni enthusiasts! Welcome back to yet another stem-winding chapter of “What Does Your Patronus Say About You?” This issue’s topic is a fantastical entity, the Patronus of. . .drumroll please. . .Fred and George Weasley! Now, when I mention the Magpie, you may assume I’m referring to an instrument that is often connected with Scotland. And to answer your question, no, I’m not referring to just that instrument.

The Magpie is an emblem for intellect, curiosity, and playfulness - qualities that are essentially the Weasley twins' essence. Obviously, we all know that they are world-renowned pranksters, but they also serve a deeper purpose by providing humour in darker times. The Magpie demonstrates the intelligence of the twins, resembling how they are creative thinkers, and are smarter than they appear. The Magpie also illustrates the playfulness and wit that George and Fred have, both their ability to make puns in any scenario, but also being serious when needed.

Thus, the Magpie has a striking resemblance to our two favourite red-headed pranksters, Fred and George Weasley. Or perhaps this is all another ruse, and they’re both waiting to strike again.

I suppose we’ll never know!

Happy November, dear readers! In this edition of What Does Your Patronus Say About You, we'll be delving into the patronus of Lily Potter and Severus Snape: the Doe!

An enduring bond and love are symbolised by the doe patronus. Along with having a deep passion for someone– like Snape’s passion for Lily— it can also signify tenderness and a strong will.

A frequently asked question is: why was Snape's patronus a doe?

If you dive deeper, it all ties into Harry’s life. For starters, the fact that Snape's patronus was a doe indicates that he supported good rather than evil. Their patroni (plural for patronus) were the same, which further demonstrates how much he loved Lily.

Without the support of their patroni, the tale of Lily Potter and Severus Snape would not have been as simple.

Thank you for reading the final edition of What Does Your Patronus Say About You! Goodbye <3
